An "opposite side" depends on the shape that you have got.
For a polygon with an even number of sides, (say 2n), the side which is opposite a given side is one that is nth from that side. In such a polygon a vertex does not have an opposite side.
For a polygon with an odd number of sides, (say 2n+1), the side which is opposite a given vertex is one that is (n+1)th from that vertex. In such a polygon a side does not have an opposite side.
